INITIAL SETUP
The PS-900 Soldering System consists of a Power Supply, Workstand with Cradle and Sponge, and a Soldering Handle. The soldering handle also houses a replaceable Coil Assembly and replaceable heater tip. Both of these consumables are available from your authorized OK International distributor as needed. The power supply features a Power Switch, green “Power On” indicator light, power cord, and a connecting port for the solder handle cord.
1.Mount the power supply in a convenient location in your workspace, such as on the workbench.
2.Insert a heater tip onto the Coil Assembly and simply push the Heater Tip all the way until it seats. You should feel a slight “click” as it locks into place.

3.With the power “Off”, attach the solder handle cord to the power supply by inserting the cord connector into the power supply connecting port. To align the 3 pins, position the flat side of the cable connector toward the 9 o'clock position of the power supply.
4.Wet the sponge with de-ionized water until it is moist but not soaked. Then place it in the workstand tray.
5.Plug the power cord into a grounded wall socket of the appropriately rated input line voltage. To turn the unit on, push the switch (located on the front of the power supply) until it latches. The green indicator light should light up. If it does not, see the “Troubleshooting Guide” in this manual.
CAUTION: To provide continued protection against the risk of electric shock, connect only to properly grounded outlets.
SMARTHEAT ®: NO CALIBRATION REQUIRED
The PS-900 System is comprised of an induction coil assembly and a heater tip. Each heater tip is equipped with a self-regulating heater which ‘senses’ its own temperature and tightly maintains its pre-set idle temperature for the life of the heater-tip; all controlled by OK International’s proprietary SmartHeat® technology. The tip temperature is determined by the inherent metallurgical properties of the heater; no external adjustment or equipment is required. The power delivered to the tip automatically varies in direct response to the thermal load. This eliminates spikes and transients associated with electrically switched elements found in conventional soldering irons. Please feel free to contact your OK International representative with any questions.
